Spiritual Growth

The Lord told Moses to instruct the children of Israel they were to diligently keep (guard and protect) His commandments, His testimonies and His statutes. Because He knew it was by REMEMBERING that they would KNOW and have TRUST in Him.

In the Old Covenant, the priests and the Levites carried the Ark of the Testimony in a prescribed manner using poles and never touching the Ark. Paul instructs us that today we are the temple of God. And in my temple, the angel tells John that we, believers in the Lord Jesus, today HOLD the testimony of Jesus.

We have seen the word testimony in three verses which say:
• The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy
• They overcame by the word of their testimony.
• You and your brethren hold the testimony of Jesus.
You may be asking what does this phrase “of Jesus” mean and how does it relate to me? Excellent question.
